We performed a comparison between Aternity AppInternals [EOL] and Datadog based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The product is very useful to find problems in middleware for the application servers, especially agent instrumentation and management is user friendly."
"We just control on the backend of AppInternals what we want to instrument and what we don't want to instrument."
"Transaction Tracing is the most useful. Being able to have the transaction stitched together so we can see where the problem is has proven invaluable."
"Clicks to root cause - fast & easy to diagnose and deep-dive"
"Browsermetrix, which is real-user monitoring via JS injection and linked back to TTW via cookie. It allows us to see the experience of every user hitting our sites and analyze performance by region, browser, etc."
"I like it that one can match IPs with the application name."
"The capability of analysing each individual transaction captured to a very low level detail (method call/line of code)."
"As an Administrator, before we bought this AppInternals, I didn't have visibility on why items were slow or why an application was not running. This gives us the ability to see what's going on. The application is load balancing. We can now see if its own server has issues or just one specific server has issues."
"The tools are powerful and intuitive to set up."
"It has a nice UI."
"If we have a large load for users using our basic Datadog, it will immediately fire off an alert notifying us either something's wrong or not."
"The observability pipelines are the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The flexibility to create notebooks and dashboards and fully customize them gives us a lot of power to track the exact services and endpoints we are working on."
"The solution is sufficiently stable."
"The ability to send notifications based on metadata from the monitor is helpful."
"The product has offered increased visibility via logging APM, metrics, RUM, etc."
"Support for PHP, DB and other applications need to be supported."
"The recording mechanism for synthetic transactions could be improved as well."
"The technical support is not very good and should be improved."
"I would like for it to have automated updates, the way the product updates itself should be all automated, as opposed to what it is now."
"We'd like to be able to find out performance problems on application class and methods."
"The admin dashboard could be easier as it takes a little bit of time to get used to it."
"They should find a way for report generation from TTW to run quicker."
"It would be great if the solution could offer fixed bundles and more features."
"The FinOps needs improvement."
"We need a lot of modules since we collect all data logs from all operating systems."
"More pre-configured "Monitor Alerts" would be helpful."
"Datadog could be improved if it could detect other software in a container or server."
"It would also be nice if we had more insight into our own usage of Datadog (agents and custom metrics). They provide a usage page which does help, but it is not in real-time."
"It is very difficult to make the solutions fit perfectly for large organizations, especially in terms of high cardinality objects and multi-tenancy, where the data needs to be rolled up to a summarized level while maintaining its individual data granularity and identifiers."
"There is always room for improvement when dealing with cloud-based technologies. Mainly, I would say, it's just increasing our offerings to attract various other types of industries and businesses across more fields."
"We have asked technical support questions, and sometimes they don't get back to us right away. Or when they do, it is not the right answer."
